Top of the Fort de Buoux, Provence


Can you imagine climbing up 500' to the bottom of this fort, fighting your way up another 1000' of vertical climb with 3 moats and hostile soldiers that you couldn't get a shot at or a sword on shooting and/or dropping huge rocks on you only to face a last charge up this narrow little alley to get to the top? They were made of sterner stuff in those days.
